Never respond to an email you’re not sure about, as it may be part of a ‘phishing’ scam. Phishing emails typically direct you to click on a link to visit a website where you are asked to update personal information, such as a password, credit card, social insurance or bank account numbers.Keep in mind that Zag Bank will NEVER ask you to reset your credentials or disclose information via email, or text messaging.

As a simple rule, 'when in doubt, DON’T,' that is:

Don’t respond to questions

Don’t click links

Don’t open documents

Don’t dial numbers

Don’t download email images

…that are provided to you via a suspicious email, text message or telemarketing call.
